Her head coach also has a daughter pitching in college. He works with my daughter on pitching as well. I assume that time is included in the reg fee because he doesn’t charge me for it. Seems like this combo is improving her skills.

Well this is unique or is it?
What age?
Looks like the travel ball coach is a paid pitching instructor and has clients who pay for lessons. But because you play on his team he does not charge you extra.
Or maybe it's wrapped up in your monthly dues. Is this a situation where you stay on that team because your lessons are free?
Are those lessons setup weekly separate from your team practices?
Or the coach spends time coaching all of the pitchers at practice and your daughter is included?If you leave this team do you still go to that person for lessons and pay them? Does that work out for more pitching time for your daughter?

Sbmom2008! wrote:12u. Maybe the latter, The team coach knows about pitching but is not a “pitching coach” and does not have private lessons like her regular pitching coach who charges for them. I just think it’s a good set up if you are a pitcher on a team when the coach knows about it, and is willing to help outside of team practice. I’m sure all the pitchers on the team will improve as a result.
On her old team, they did live pitching to batters during team practice. Haven’t seen much if that in the new team.
I think it’s tough to get girls this age to practice pitching a lot on their own,
